뻐꾸기
Korean
Etymology
뻐꾹 (ppeokkuk, “cuckoo”, onomatopoeia of the bird's cry) + 이 (-i, noun-deriving suffix). A recent, perhaps late nineteenth-century Central Korean innovation that displaced older 뻐꾹새 (ppeokkuksae), which still survives in many dialects. Because Standard Korean reflects mid-twentieth century Seoul Korean, this word was established as the prescriptive standard.
